MCH Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Was watching "Zaboomafoo" with my son and they were featuring porcupines. I got to thinking that it would be cool to see one of em go waddling by my stand. Here's what I see during a normal season(besides deer): 1. Squirrels(millions ) 2. Coyotes 3. Racoons 4. Mink(in one stand location only) 5. Birds--Crows, Hawks, Owls, and millions of red-headed woodpeckers. We don't have feral hogs on my land or on our lease. We've got bobcats but I've yet to see one while on stand. I know I'm probably forgetting something. How about ya'll??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All while being in the mountain! The house cat really got me that one day, he must have been at least 3-4 miles away from any house. If he only knew how close he was, had the scope on him for a few minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossySNPR Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Re: What critters do you see??? Well, I sit in my stand from 7:00AM - 5:30PM. Lots of naps are taken believe me lol. But rarely, I will see moose eating at my apple pile, they come right up and munch away. Other than that, your everyday owls, tons of species of little birds, pine martins, weasels, fishers, mice, munks, squirrels, and racoons. Usually a family of about 3 or 4 racoons will come to my stand. I let them go the first time, but if they return I have to kill them because my area is over-run and they damage everything. So I always wait for them to get side by side eating the apples, the arrow usually goes through two of them pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
